Chapter 3 window material
I don't know if it's because Li Yidao's desperate self-confidence at this moment infected the beautiful woman, or if the beautiful woman also sympathized with Li Yidao's miserable situation, so she nodded and agreed.
Under the deliberate propaganda and instigation of the old oilman, most of the people in the ghost market knew that Li Yidao, who was famous in the jade circle of Tengzhou three years ago, came back, and he also spoke wildly, he couldn't open a good stone, and he didn't take a penny.
Hula, the surrounding gambling stone merchants, jade dealers, and even many foreign tourists all gathered around, all of them holding the face of watching a good show, obviously waiting to see what posture Li Yidao, who had a wild speech in their eyes, would be swept away tonight.
Li Yidao didn't pay attention to the laughter and doubts around him at this moment, but just raised his head to look at the beautiful woman and asked according to the master's mouth.
"Sister Liu, I don't know how many people you plan to vote for tonight?"
Don't look at this jade ghost market, piles of rough stones are scattered and stacked, but in fact, the stones here are also divided into three or nine grades.
According to the different entrances, different sizes, skin color, etc., all the stones are divided into three, six, nine and so on.
"Since you're so confident, you just have to pick three stones."
"But don't blame me for not reminding you, if you cut it down with a knife, it's not over."
The beautiful woman didn't say how much money she invested, she just said a number, and the last sentence was not over, it was full of threats.
Li Yidao didn't know that if he was cut with one knife, the beautiful woman in front of him would probably not give up easily, and he would become the opponent of hundreds of masters in the entire ghost market.
But now that Li Yidao was already riding a tiger, he could only nod fiercely, took a deep breath and turned around to look at the rough stones stacked on the side of the road.
In the face of the tens of thousands of rough stones, a layman will only feel dizzy at a glance, even if he is knowledgeable, it is not easy to pick out three good materials from so many stones.
Because of the importance involved, Li Yidao selected very carefully and seriously.
It took more than forty minutes for Li Yidao to finally choose the first stone.
"Sister Liu, this is the first stone."
Li Yidao moved a rough stone no more than the size of his head to the beautiful woman.
The beautiful woman didn't say much, just nodded and motioned for Li Yidao to continue choosing.
It took dozens of minutes for Li Yidao to choose the second stone.
Just when Li Yidao was about to choose the third stone, suddenly Li Yidao saw a stall with a window material.
The so-called window material is a window that has been polished on the rough stone, so that people can see the water head inside.
The price of this kind of rough stone is much more expensive than that of the original stone that is intact.
Because of the bet on this window material, the risk is lower.
It's just that veterans who really know how to play with stones know that in fact, the probability of collapse is much greater than betting on all the materials.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, and this sentence is not groundless.
Three years ago, it was precisely because he looked away at a piece of window material that Li Yidao was defeated, and now he sees an almost identical window material, how can Li Yidao turn a blind eye.
"Selected?"
Seeing that Li Yidao was slow to move, the beautiful woman stepped forward to ask.
"I have chosen, these two whole stones, plus that window material."
Li Yidao said without hesitation, and when he heard that Li Yidao had chosen a piece of window material, the laughter around him suddenly rang out again.
Tourists from other places don't understand, but this will see the excitement, most of them are some businesses and jade dealers, they don't know, the window material is far more difficult to gamble than the whole stone.
"Two, I said a long time ago that this kid has no hair on his mouth and can't do things well, just the piece of window material he chose, how many years has it been here, and no one dares to open it."
The old oilman who threatened Li Yidao before came up for the second time and looked at Li Yidao with a provocative face.
At this time, Li Yidao's heart also raised his throat, and in the face of the full of doubts, Li Yidao was also afraid that the beautiful woman would not be able to bear the criticism, so he brushed his sleeves and left.
Fortunately, the beautiful woman did not choose to leave, but looked directly at the stall owner of the three stones and said.
"Quote a price!"
The stall owner is a middle-aged man who is honest, but the jade industry is the same as antiques, the more honest the surface, the more worthy of people's beware.
"Three stones, freshman!"
The stall owner rubbed his hands together and gestured four fingers at the beautiful woman and Li Yidao.
Antiques have a way to shake hands and buckle fingers to negotiate prices, and jadeite businesses also have them.
Numbers range from one to nine and are divided into three levels: large, medium and small.
Even if the big is seven to nine, and the freshman value is nine, in addition to the stall owner's finger, it is a finger to represent adding a zero to the back, and so on for some of the remaining numbers.
So the stall owner's asking price is 90,000 yuan.
Regarding the stall owner's bidding, the beautiful woman did not speak, but turned her head to look at Li Yidao.
Li Yidao understood that the beautiful woman was asking him, what is the price?
In the business of gambling stones, if there is no knowledgeable person to take it, the layman will be stunned and go to test the water, ten times out of ten, he will be pitted.
"Slash it."
Li Yidao did not hesitate, turned his head and said such a sentence to the stall owner.
This is also the way to bid for the gambling stone industry, cut a knife, not a finger, that is, to drop a number on the bidding price of the freshman year.
If a slash is a finger stroke, it is a whole single digit less, and so on for two slashes, three slashes, and so on.
The stall owner hesitated for a while, looked at Li Yidao, and seemed to know that Li Yidao was there, and it was impossible for him to maliciously raise the price, so he finally nodded and agreed.
After the money and goods were cleared, the beautiful woman did not hesitate, and directly asked the stall owner to help cut the stone.
Generally in the gambling stone stall, or in the gambling stone workshop, after you choose the stone money and goods, the store can help you cut it for free, if a knife out of the good head, someone will immediately buy at a high price.
"Wait!"
"Sister Liu, this stone can't be cut here."
Li Yidao gritted his teeth, but still stood up, and opened his mouth to interrupt the moment when the secret was about to be revealed.
At this moment, not only the surrounding visitors, but even Chen Shu and the beautiful woman looked at Li Yidao with puzzled faces.
"Give me a reason!"
Facing the beautiful woman's inquiry, Li Yidao took a deep breath and said very seriously.
"Cut here, and the stone will collapse!"
As soon as Li Yidao's words came out, the laughter in the hall suddenly rang out again.
"Haha, I'm laughing to death, is it possible that you can cut it in another place, can this broken stone with three points of water become an emperor?"
Li Yidao didn't pay attention to the ridicule around him, but just stared at the beautiful woman with a serious face.
"So where do you think you should cut it?"
"Verdant Pavilion!"
Li Yidao blurted out three words, and when he heard the name Emerald Green Pavilion, Chen Shu was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed a worried look, because Chen Shu knew the grievances between Li Yidao, Shen Hongbin, and Fan Meifang.
